A happy crew is a good crew! We strive to meet the needs of our
employees. We realize the importance of mutual respect between
employer and employee. We offer a few extras that are above the
norm.
Housing: We provide housing for our seasonal harvest employees.
If they provide their own housing, they receive a housing
allowance.
Daycare: We developed a licensed non-profit (501c3) Daycare,
"The Berry Good School", for our employees. It operates year around
and is licensed for infants through age twelve.
Garden Spot: We have a buffer zone between our Raspberry field
and the Skagit River. This area serves two purposes one
environmental; the other is that it allows a garden site for our
employees. They grow corn, peppers, and a few other vegetables.
Covered Picnic Area: We put in a covered meeting, picnic area,
and an outside basketball play court, in coordination with Terra
Nuevo (a local Hispanic ministry and advocate organization).
Playground: We installed playground equipment from Burger King,
and lawn for soccer and volleyball. A church group installed an
additional playground set. The combined picnic area and play areas
make for a park like atmosphere.
Training: We provide safety training and some additional
training for our employees.
We are proud that many of our families have been with us for
generations.
